It is important to remember:

Thais revere the royal family and cannot tolerate even the slightest disrespect for the Thai monarchy. When you visit sacred places you should be neatly dressed. In this case it is inadmissible to enter the temple wearing shorts, t-shirts or without shirt.

If you enter the private house of Thais, the temple where Buddha images are stored you should take shoes off and also you need to do the same before entering into a Muslim mosque.

It is forbidden to export of gold bullion from Thailand, Buddha images (except the neck medallions), precious stones, platinum jewelry, stamps, and antiques.

Tap water in Thailand is not suitable for drinking. For cleaning teeth, washing, etc. use bottled water.
